SAE TOMORROW TODAY: Life-Saving Biometrics Without Wearables

Imagine a wireless sensor that can automatically alert authorities if an elderly relative has taken a fall or if a child has been left alone in a hot car. One company is doing just that - all without assistance from a wearable device. Founded in 2020, Pontosense is focused on the mission of saving lives through the use of a contactless RF sensor that monitors biometrics with medical grade technology. With 500+ patents, the Pontosense team is comprised of engineers as well as data and AI scientists who are making human-centric technology a reality in both the automotive and smart home markets. We sat down with Alex Qi, Chief Executive Officer, Pontosense, to discuss how the sensors work, the importance of privacy in biometric data collection, and unlocking new opportunities in adjacent markets.
